Description

Very scarce debut release on Blakey Records in 1972 by amazing British jazz-rock trio Back Door....around a thousand of these LPs were pressed and sold at their gigs and a few record shops in Yorkshire.

The vinyl is in very good condition, no scratches, no warping. The sleeve has fared less well. There is a  thin split down the spine almost the full length of the record. All edges show signs of shelf-wear. The cover has become 'foxed' with age.

The album was re-released with a different cover by Warner Brothers.

This taken from Mojo Magazine:

Back Door emerged in 1972 from the unlikeliest of surroundings. Disenchanted by the London scene, the power trio of Ron Aspery (alto and soprano sax/flute) and Colin Hodgkinson (bass) repaired northwards, recruited drummer Tony Hicks, and began a residency at The Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge on the uppermost reaches of the Yorkshire Moors. Recorded as a ‘thank you’ to their boozer-based fans, this raw, 12-track affair eschews overdubs – adding to the sheer urgency of the high-octane playing that characterizes the likes of Catcote Rag (boasting Hodgkinson’s innovative chording-based bass style) and the skronkin’ Slivadiv (sampled by The Beastie Boys on Check Your Head’s Stand Together). Initially released on their label, Blakey Records, the three-piece supported Return To Forever before signing to Warners, who reissued this dizbusting, jazz-punk debut. Back Door’s second album, 8th Street Nights, was produced by Mountain bassist and Cream producer Felix Papallardi, cementing their reputation among rock circles prior to their split in ‘76. In March 2003, Back Door reformed and returned to The Lion Inn to launch their new album Askin’ The Way. A matter of months later, Aspery tragically passed away. This debut remains a testament to one of British jazz’s most underrated talents, emerging 35 years on as thumpingly urgent as anything released by Morphine and as gonzoid as latterday Brit fusionists Acoustic Ladyland.
